Good afternoon. It's lovely and sunny in between raindrops here and I managed to snap a pic of this little morsel in between clouds. It's the second in my trio of Art deco card fronts, I will have another for you later on.

I love the diamond inspired pattern on this one, I am very drawn to strong geometric patterns...well I'm drawn to pattern of any kind, but there is definitely something about a nice crisp mathematically inspired pattern.

Kept it simple as before, I cut the panel on my Silhouette Cameo and mounted it on foam pads, teeny tiny wee foam pads, to allow it to cast a little shadow on the pale blue card front. A perfectly plain cream panel for my sentiment (Paris Nouveau) and a little beaded doodad to finish. Thought it was rather pretty at that stage so I left it alone.

Hope it tickles and if you did fancy having a go at the Art deco panels, they are available on the store here. A bundle of 3 detailed card panels in .svg and ,dxf formats.

Just for you Katarina, I used these settings on the Cameo - Media - Coverstock, Speel - 1, Thickness - 33. I used a thinner cardstock - American crafts - it cuts like butter. I slow the speed right down - I just pop off for a cuppa while the machine toils away. I don't do a double cut. On heavier cardstock I nearly always do a double cut, but with the American Crafts card I don't need to. Hope this helps!

Wow, Claire, I absolutely ADORE your new cut files, and this one is Gorgeous!! I'm sat here wishing I have brought my Cameo with me :( Counting the days...till I get back. Your card is Beautiful, and the beaded design looks so elegant!!

Simply gorgeous! I like Ruth's idea of buying pre cut sheets if dies aren't available. I have five different die cutting machines but none of them will cut your files and I can't afford to buy another machine (nor do I have room in my craft room for much else)! Joanne's idea to have these as background stamps is also a good one.
